Additional features include measuring scales for positioning (GPS), graduation in mils and degrees (6400/360), integrated adjuster for magnetic declination, magnifying lens and rubber feet for precision map work. The compass had a luminous graduation ring and markings for compass reading in the dark. Once activated by daylight/flashlight it will give up to 4 hours of light.
